Hello Theodore,
I use this standard quite a bit for DC interference projects in Paris.
There are criteria for time-constant and time-varying anodic and cathodic interference. Similarly, there are criteria for concrete without cathodic protection.
In my projects, we use the current criterion for interference from DC traction. We measure the current in probes with different surface areas depending on the type of pipe coating, and we calculate the percentage of current in the probe during a period of maximum acceptable occurrence.
I would like to collaborate on a standard for this type of interference in the AMPP.
Kind regards,

Subject: ISO 21857-2021 standard for stray current
Hi all. Last week at the AMPP conference, someone mentioned to me that a standard exists that offers criteria for stray current testing (ISO 21857). I just purchased the standard and haven't read through all of it just yet, but I see some promise in its applicability when turning on a new CP system in an area where other utilities may be present (water mains, etc).
I was wondering if anyone else in this group had used this standard or had any thoughts on its content, or if anyone was aware of an AMPP document that was similar in scope to this standard. I had been looking for something like this in the AMPP space for some time and hope that one day AMPP could put together a consensus document with similar guidance / criteria.
